Enabling private sector development in African renewables

Africa’s energy landscape presents vast untapped renewable energy (RE) resources juxtaposed against a backdrop of widespread energy poverty. Despite being rich in solar, wind, hydro and geothermal potential, the continent has the lowest electricity access rates globally, with about 600 million living without power. RE offers an answer to this electricity deficit. Yet despite this potential, the actual deployment of RE has been limited. The private sector could be key to filling the investment and deployment gaps in Africa’s RE sector.
